CHAPTER 691: CHAPTER 261 EMPRESS WITH OLD SHOULDER SLIPPAGE! I HAVE UNIQUE MASSAGE SKILLS!_3

The Empress acted like a completely different person when facing Chen Mo.

Her usual principles were completely gone, and she couldn’t maintain her rationality at all...

But upon careful thought, wasn’t she just like that too?

When she brought Chen Mo back to the Palace Chambers, and even slept on the same bed, the answer was already clear.

Although Xu Qingyi had never had a romantic experience, she had read quite a few storybooks, so she naturally understood what this meant...

"I really seem to..."

"What on earth should I do?"

She buried her face in the belly of the cat, the night wind blowing her hair, revealing her burning red earlobes.

"Meow!"

The cat looked disdainful, wanting to push away this inexplicable woman.

Aside from Chen Mo, it didn’t like to interact with anyone else.

But thinking of that terrifying presence just now, it hesitated for a moment, then silently retracted its claw.

Forget it, enduring a moment ensures peace, offending her might end up with getting stomped into a cat pancake...

Rubbing just a bit...

...

...

Qianji Palace.

The Shadow Man stood with head lowered.

A deep voice came from the dragon bed: "Chu Yanli has returned?"

"Yes." The Shadow Man replied: "She is currently in Yangxin Palace."

"She returns only once in so many years, and doesn’t even come to pay respects to me, really... cough cough..." The Emperor said, then started coughing.

The Shadow Man remained silent.

Pay respects to you?

With Chu Yanli’s temperament, not burning down Qianji Palace with a fire is already very restrained.

"The Princess went to Prince Yu Mansion today, and also saw Chen Mo." The Shadow Man hinted, "The Princess seems to have a very special attitude towards him..."

The Emperor shook his head and said, "Chu Yanli must have realized that the wisp of Dragon Qi she left behind was taken by Chen Mo, so she naturally wants to get closer to him... Knowing her, she might even use the excuse of choosing a Prince Consort to win over Chen Mo."

The Shadow Man softly asked, "Should we do something?"

"No need." The Emperor waved his hand and said, "Let her mess around all she wants, it won’t affect the overall situation. The Heavenly Destiny People can’t be used like that."

"And as for the Jiang Family..."

The Shadow Man hesitated.

The Emperor’s eyes grew colder, and he said sternly, "Overreaching and insatiable, isn’t what I have given them enough?!"

"Go tell Lv Huaiyu, if the Jiang Family doesn’t recognize the situation, then no need to show any courtesy!"

"The day of the grand ceremony is approaching, and there mustn’t be any mishaps!"

"Yes."

The Shadow Man bowed and retreated.

The vast palace fell silent once more.

The Emperor’s eyelids drooped slightly, as if in a sleepy daze, but a glint shone unknowingly.

...

...

Three hundred miles outside Tiandu City.

In the desolate forest, two figures stood.

One of them was burly, like an iron tower, with knotted muscles stretching the white monk robes, holding a string of Buddha Beads, looking down at a patch of blurred traces on the ground, with compassion in his brows.

"Amitabha Buddha."

Beside him stood a young monk, wearing gray monk robes, appearing only six or seven years old, with a clean little face still carrying baby fat.

Following the gaze of the big monk, he curiously asked, "Brother Hui Neng, it’s just a patch of filthy mud, what’s so interesting?"

Hui Neng lightly pushed the Buddha Beads with his thumb and said calmly, "This is your brother Shi Yun."

?!

"Brother, Brother Shi Yun?!"

The young monk’s expression froze, eyes opening wide in disbelief.

Months ago, Shi Yun and Hui Neng went to Tiandu City to participate in the court’s Heavenly Human Martial Exam.

It was thought that with Shi Yun’s strength, winning this year’s Martial Arts Champion would be as easy as reaching into a bag, and they could use this chance to spread Buddhism, letting the light of Wuwan Temple shine on Central State.

The outcome was surprising.

Shi Yun lost to an unremarkable court military officer in the competition, the eight-year leader of the Qingyun Leaderboard lost his position, and he encountered an accident on his way out of the Capital City, leaving no corpse behind!

Only Hui Neng returned to the temple alone.

The death of Buddha’s son was a huge matter, yet the supervisors and the abbot avoided discussing it, keeping it under wraps.

Fortunately, the Buddha’s son of Wuwan Temple wasn’t designated to a specific person, as long as one can walk barefoot across the Karmic Fire, see their true self in the Reincarnation Mirror, and gain acknowledgment from the wordless stele, they can undertake this position.

And as a Martial Monk, Hui Neng, after this incident, suddenly became enlightened, grasped the principles of Buddhism, and understood countless wonderful methods.

Easily passing the three trials, inheriting Shi Yun’s teachings, becoming the new successor.

"Brother Hui Neng, you’re not joking, right?"

The young monk couldn’t mentally connect this stinky patch of muddy sludge in front of him with the extraordinary Brother Shi Yun.

"Amitabha Buddha, monks do not lie."

Hui Neng shifted his gaze, his expression turning indifferent.

He looked up, his eyes penetrating the dense forest, gazing toward the distant city, with a fleeting look of deep terror and apprehension in his eyes, speeding up the movement of the Buddha Beads in his hands a bit.

"Let’s go."

"Yes."

The young monk followed behind Hui Neng, looking back every few steps.

If this was truly Shi Yun, then what kind of existence could beat him into such a state?

Thinking of this trip to Central State, he suddenly felt a bit uneasy inside.

...

...

The next day, at Huai Zhen Fang.

Two figures crouched at the alley entrance next to the Sky Scale Guard, peeking covertly.

"Holy Daughter, do you think Mr. Chen will handle our affair?"

"Hard to say. It was obviously enthusiastic at first, but then suddenly stopped investigating... I think he must have discovered something."

"By the way, how can he use the ’Taiyin Reverse Time Decision’? And from those techniques, it seems he’s at least at Small Success, it’s simply unbelievable..."

"You’re asking me, who should I ask? Report this to the master when the time comes, let the master decide... shh, silence, someone’s coming!"
